Darshini Santhanam

Darshini Santhanam specialises in the psychological depth required for modern systemic transformation. Following a 20-year career at Google and Microsoft, Darshini founded The Human Skills Company to address the urgent need for more human-centred approaches in the digital age.

A practitioner-researcher at heart, Darshini’s work explores how organisational systems evolve under pressure. Her INSEAD-based research on rejuvenation set the stage for her current doctoral work at the Tavistock Institute, where she examines the psychodynamic implications of human behaviour within landscapes impacted by AI. By combining system psychodynamics with practical tech-sector experience, Darshini provides a unique framework for leaders seeking to manage the emotional and structural realities of the modern workplace.
